About

Neutralize Carbon came into being in 2009, starting from the experience of Green Domus Sustainable Development , a company that has been working since 2005 in projects for certificate reduction of emissions, emission inventories and advice in sustainability strategies. The projects that enable Neutralize Carbon to provide an indisputable solution for the neutralization of emissions started in 2005 and have been submitted to several steps of internal and external auditing, checked by institutions internationally accredited by UNFCCC until they obtained their own certification.

All the attention given and procedures created have been essential to provide the market with a true, measurable and definitive solution to fight global warming. Neutralize Carbon is founded on rigorous corporate values aiming at a sustainable development and counts on the experience of professionals who have been working in that field since the entrance into force of Kyoto Protocol. Neutralize Carbon pursues permanent improvement for the compensation of emissions to attain the most rigorous scientific standards in order to be certified by UN Conference on Climatic Change.

Strategy

The business as usual path for CDM project developers or project owners is to issue a Certified Emission Reductions (CER) and sell it to companies based on annex I countries that have committed emission reductions. This framework allows the economy to distribute resources over the world and find the most cost effective emission reduction projects and solutions. Neutralize Carbon understands that there is an opportunity in allowing people and company based on non-annex countries to also contribute, voluntarily. Of course, neutralizing emissions is not as easy as reducing emissions and Neutralize Carbon is focusing on using its expertise of emission inventory and CDM projects to promote emission offsetting based on CER “voluntary cancellation” over the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).This procedure, assures that all CERs used to offset activities worldwide can not be sold to be used as a tradable emissions reduction anymore, having no further market value.

With this initiative, over a sustainable and economy scale, the objective is to generate more voluntary interest on “compliance alike” solutions, that uses compliance structures for voluntary commitments, to promote extra economic resources and private incentive that should support marginal impulse to emission reduction projects. As long as they are aware that it is the first time that a company launches a solution to neutralize GHG emissions based on CERs cancellation. Neutralize Carbon will finish its 2010 inventory by July 2011 and neutralize it´s emissions for the period as made in 2009. The short term goal is to create public interest on this kind of solution. The medium term goal is to make it available, with the same quality and transparency pattern, to individuals. At this point we are getting a good answers from companies and event organizers.
